Roots

[arvin555]

I agree with you guys, this method only will work on some species, specially swamp lovers. Mirabilis are in my opinion the most water loving nepenthes I know. Gracilis are known to root in water, but Mirabilis really takes the cake when it comes to wet feet.

1.5 years! Wow that is so fast... hope mine grow that big too... well when it does, I wouldn't know what to do with it As it will crowd my small garden.

A large N. bical will also produce some impressive roots, and also likes it on the wet side. - Rich

Hi Rich, Yep, I had considered trying out one of my larger bicals in this type of setup but first off I find, as has often been said here, they really hate to be moved and second they tend to get too tall too fast and I'm afraid of them just snapping off. Still, it would be amazing to see one do something similar to the mirabilis. I can only wish to get so many bical stems out of one pot - there must be 8 stems, each over 4-5' long, as well as another 8 shorter ones!


I may have to try one anyway!

Hey Shawn, Go for it! N. bicals are rather common these days! But I would reccomend drilling a few more drainage holes, and perhaps larger ones too for them, but they also love the same conditions, being able to grow right out through the bottom of the pots into hot a steamy cavity with a small pool or water under them. - Rich
